After a haywire redistricting process, New York has more congressional battlegrounds than nearly any other state. Even the Democratic campaign chairman is locked in a dead heat.

Yup.

Plus it's the New York Slimes...which I'm not sure should even be used as emergency TP it's so toxic.

Plus they're lying bastards.

Some of the article:


POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — Just a month before November’s critical midterm elections, New York has emerged from a haywire redistricting cycle as perhaps the most consequential congressional battleground in the country, and Democrats are mired in an increasingly costly fight just to hold their ground.

All told, nine of New York’s 26 seats — from the tip of Long Island to the banks of the Hudson River here in Poughkeepsie — are in play, more than any state but California.

For Democrats, the uncertainty is particularly jarring: Just 10 months ago, party leaders, who controlled the once-in-a-decade redistricting process in the state, optimistically predicted that new district lines could safeguard Democrats and imperil as many as five Republican seats, allowing them to add key blocks to their national firewall.

That, to put it gently, is not how things seem to be turning out.

Yeah, didn't they get their ass handed to them by a Judge for that fiasco?


I'm still pissed they are merging a very conservative area with Rottenchester.
